Have you ever met an attorney? They talk like this.

[i hate myself]

[granvelle]

No. Is that a career?

[sounds super fake]

[carpevinum]

Do you not have attorneys where you're from? How odd. Yes, that is a career. An attorney (or "lawyer") is someone who represents clients in a court of law should they find themselves in a situation where certain sacred laws were breached.

For example, a client can hire an attorney to represent them in court if they were in something like a car crash, with the end goal being to get money as compensation from the person at fault for the crash. Does that make sense?

[granvelle]

Legal issues are largely handled by whoever is in charge of the land - so lords, barons, kings or whatever wizard happens to be the most powerful. There's no representing those who cannot do so themselves.

It does make sense, even if that's not how things are resolved where I'm from.

[carpevinum]

I see. Where I come from, that's a rather ancient system. A thousand years, perhaps? Naturally, there is corruption in the system. If you have more wealth or fame, you're more likely to either be represented fairly in a trial, or get away with a crime you've done because of that.

So, I suppose nothing has changed.

[On the one hand it's very hard to be surprised by that, on the other hand why does it seem like a universal fact that all people in power are actually the worst?]

I would have hoped with time such a thing would be less of an issue and people would see the value of treating others equally, but I suppose change takes time and it's harder to manage with the shorter lifespans of humans.
